OneRepublic - Dreaming Out Loud - Piano/Vocal/Guitar Artist Songbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The music book can serve as an extension of a person's love for Onepublic's "Dreaming Out Loud" album -- a person gets to play what he/she loves from the music book (in my case, every song) to self, to his/her beloved, or even to a crowd. Being inspired by the passionate vocal of Ryan Tedder, one can explore and develope his/her own vocal property and become as creative and vesatile as him. Can you imagine when you play your piano and utter "Hello, World, hope you're listening? Forgive me if I'm young,..." sincerely? Or with your accoustic guitar, you sing "I'm holding on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground...", desperate yet disappointed and bitter, or "I tried to paint you a picture; the colors were all wrong..." (My favorite, since I am a painter myself). As soon as you master the content in the book, you will catch lots of attention for sure. The book includes piano, guitar, and lyrics for each song; it is easy for anyone with litlle skill like myself to pick up and learn. If you are already a musician, it is then a no brainer; all that you have to do is PLAY IT!

Bastien Piano Technic Primer Level Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The books in these series are the best on the market. After taking piano lessons for 8 years from these books and now teaching piano students from these books as well, there isn't any series of piano techniques book that comes close to this series. Concepts are logically introduced and age appropriate, excersices are fun and a great review of learned skills and the illustrations really keep the little bitties interest (in what could be a very boring lesson!). Also if you are helping your child and have never played piano before you can follow along at home, unlike some other piano books they are easy to follow no matter what skill level. I HIGHLY recommend the entire series!

Mighty Bright 53510 Orchestra Light, with Adapter and Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For a long time, the stand light with the long incandescent bulb has been the de facto standard. Unfortunately they're power hungry (forget running them on batteries), hot, and the bulbs burn out easily, especially if jostled when hot. Finally, the hinges get loose after a while, and few things are more annoying on a gig than a droopy stand light.
This light eliminates all of the negatives of the traditional stand light, while retaining its wide coverage and bright light. The color is on the cool side (it's distinctly blue-violet) but not enough to mess with color perception if you are one to use highlighters or other color markings on your music. It's lightweight. It will run on batteries or from AC. Nicest of all, it is completely cool to the touch and won't burn out from being bumped.
While it may initially appear to be expensive, it is far superior to the cheaper offerings and includes the bag, adapter, and one set of batteries. If you figure the adapter is worth ten bucks, and realize it has NINE white LEDs, the price suddenly seems reasonable. The adapter is also small and won't block sockets on your power strip.
As another reviewer noted, you cannot run it from the adapter with the batteries in. What may not be obvious is that you do not need to pull all three batteries out -- removing any one of the three will break the circuit just as effectively as removing all three. The only other potential drawback of this light is that it has a very wide coverage angle, enough that it may light more than you want lit... like your feet! Since it runs cool, you can tape on a paper hood and not worry about setting it on fire or melting the tape.

Matrix MR500 Metronome Metronome Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great metronome! It's very compact and easy to use. You can operate it with the audible beep, or you can use the silent flashing LED light. It's also one of the cheapest!
FYI, it does *not* come with a battery (9V).
Highly recommended!

Casio PX-110 Privia Digital Piano Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As a kid I learned how to play on a real piano for 8 years. I bought this keyboard three months ago wanting to play more and have been very satisfied so far.
Pros:
1. The tri-element ZPI casio menions makes the keys pressure sensitive so that when you play softly or loud it will sound that way.
2. Metronome comes in handy
3. Easy-to-use record button lets you playback what you just played during practice
4. Comes with a practice pianobook with 59 pieces including 3-4 of the more popular Chopin, Schubert, Schumannn, Bach, Mozart, Debussy, Beethoven pieces and some lighter ones like The Entertainer.
5. Overall great sound for this price range
Cons:
1. Having previously played mostly on a grand piano, the keys here don't feel completely weighted, but it isn't difficult to adjust.
2. 10 tones (2 grand pianos, 2 electric pianos, 1 harpsichord, 1 vibraphone, 1 pipe organ, 1 percussion organ, 1 strings/violin, 1 acoustic bass) may be limited amount for some
